I clicked the Tik Tok video first and it was so bad I couldn't bring myself to watch any of the others so I voted for that. I think the worst thing I actually watched on TV was the one where Maggie was trying to get in to an exclusive preschool and the admissions board had Simon Cowell on it.

p. nice Wolf Parade ref posted:The episode where Bart gets emancipated from his family and hangs with Tony Hawk and poo poo. This another one that sticks out in my mind as one of the all time worsts. Prominent guest stars appearing as themselves are a common theme. Lumpy the Cook posted:"Mean-spirited" is a pretty good descriptor for the Simpsons past, uh, 2001 or '02 or so. It's still pretty Andy-Griffith compared to anything by Macfarlane and his imitators.

I don't know of one, but they definitely did give one note gag characters like ol' Gil and, probably, like, the Sea Captain or Luigi or something their own episodes that sucked pretty bad.

PostNouveau posted:Synopsis of the next upcoming episode The Denmark episode was the first late Simpsons I've watched in quite awhile and good lord was it awful. There were some good Simpsons go to a place episodes back in the day but in the past, like, 2 decades they've reliably been some of the worst episodes.

Plan Z posted:I watch the old episodes on Youtube, and it's more like these people find most throwaway jokes hilarious or enjoy a joke without really knowing what it's going for. Like you'll see people who think Krusty's "Me so solly" bit is just funny on its own, or "'If I ever stop loving cartoon violence, kill me,' AHAHA lol the best line in the whole show!!!!" Reminds me of when I saw The Simpsons Movie. The theater was packed and by far the biggest laughs came from the spiderpig song and Homer being bounced back and fourth between a rock and a hard place.

I think the vendetta episode might have been the one that made me drop the show too. The Sideshow Bob episodes were generally still some of the good ones but that one was basically just another "The Simpsons go to a place" episode and the "vendetta! vendetta!" poo poo was remarkably terrible even by late Simpsons standards.

PostNouveau posted:The creators bitch a lot about Fox forcing them into 3 commercial breaks. Every episode for a few years now has had a minute-long denouement at the end, so they have to wrap up a minute early. Is there a Gendy Tartakovsky couch gag? I'd watch the h%!k out of that.

Frog Act posted:I know this is old hat but I’ve been streaming season 30 in the background and in episode 11, Marge is trying to get Homer into some pants or something and her voice sounds so loving bad, like, wow. I went back and found a clip of grandma Bouvier from like season 3 or so 4 and it actually sounded better than contemporary Marge. They need to replace her with someone who can actually do the characters voice because she and Lenny are honestly unrecognizable, like, Bart and Lisa sound a little different but Julie Kavner sounds like an entirely different person and it’s jarring as gently caress Behold, the ravages of age! (and doing the Marge voice for 3 decades, probably)

Plan Z posted:That's always been a thing. They can't produce like $200 for an air conditioner, but Homer will slap down $1100 in cash for Itchy and Scratchy money. I hate when "is poor" is an important/often referenced trait of main characters in comedies because the writers pretty much never follow through with it. Bob's Burgers is the worst for this. They're constantly referencing how they have no money, can't make rent and their tiny restaurant is perpetually empty, but at the same time they're plunking down money for $300 chef knives, expensive summer camps, high end drones and etc. I don't know why they even make them poor when they never do anything funny with it (which, to be fair, is pretty difficult) and it's a constant source of cognitive dissonance.

Frog Act posted:Roseanne is absolutely my favorite proletarian sitcom but I’m pretty sure Roseanne herself isn’t just racist when she’s on ambien, so much as she’s an insane right wing lunatic all the time, but just somehow hid it during the original show Have you been to an old person's home in the last 10-15 years? They tend to play Fox news 18 hours a day and get radicalized. Maybe she always sucked but a lot of people in that age range have gotten markedly shittier since the 90s.

Nutsngum posted:Was the "Homer between a rock and a hard place" "joke" in the movie because thats the only other awful attempt at humour I can remember from the marketing. I saw it on the opening weekend and the rock/hard place and spider pig jokes got by far the biggest laughs, which made me sad. The movie was alright but it's not a must see or anything.

I think I've asked in this thread before if anyone has ever laughed at one of the chalkboard jokes. Well it finally happened. I was just watching classic Simpsons and, for the first time ever, I laughed at the chalkboard joke. Bart vs. Australia: "I will not hang donuts on my person". That's my story, thanks for reading.

Daikloktos posted:I've seen all 670+ episodes, and I have strong opinions about how the show is slightly more tolerable the past few seasons than it was a decade ago I'd say the writing isn't the worst it has ever been (the animation might be the blandest, though), but Julie Kavner's vocal deterioration makes it maybe harder for me to watch anyway. Any time Marge talks it takes me right out the episode thinking "Oh dear that poor woman".

But yeah, there was no romance involved, Hank just freaks out because it's Boomhauer.

I thought subverting the cartoon trope of improbably covered nudity was a pretty good joke, but my enjoyment was tempered by the fact that I didn't particularly want to see Bat's dilz. The other main things I remember from the movie was Homer calling that boob lady "Boob Lady" and that the audience absolutely loved that lovely "rock and a hard place" joke.
